1. لَمّا ثَوَت في الأَرضِ وَهيَ لَطيفَةٌ

    قُدَماؤُنا أَمِنَت مِنَ الأَحداثِ

    When they came to rest in the gentle earth,

    Our forebears were safe from calamities.

  2. لَم يَستَريحوا مِن شُرورِ دِيارِهِم

    إِلّا بِرِحلَتِهِم إِلى الأَجداثِ

    They found no rest from the evils of their dwellings

    Except through their departure to the graves.
